Description
Solar Politics explores the sun as a source of philosophical insight into human societies and their relationship with nature. Drawing on Georges Bataille's theories, Oxana Timofeeva examines the sun's infinite generosity as a model for alternative economic systems.
Timofeeva argues that solidarity with nature is key to creating a more sustainable future, one where humans are not seen as masters or slaves, but rather as equals. This book will appeal to readers interested in philosophy of nature, ecology, social and political theory, postcolonial and decolonial studies.
With its focus on the intersection of politics and the natural world, Solar Politics offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of our place within the solar economy.
